Banana Waffles served at the Parish House Inn bed and breakfast

Banana Waffles with pecans on a pink plate

This is a recipe that is dairy free (just 2 tablespoons of butter)and a delicious way to use up those very ripe bananas. Top them with pecans, additional sliced bananas  or other fresh berries, add bacon or sausage and you have breakfast!  Enjoy.
